Hope! Most of these books are new to me! (You have no idea how rare that is, haha.)
I did a Christmas picture book countdown for a few years -- yes, the wrapping was absolutely daunting, but I did it for my children -- until I realized that it took so many of our most beloved books out of rotation for most of the month, and I didn't like that. Even though the appeal of unwrapping a book every night was pretty great, I'd rather we metaphorically roll around in our pile of books and enjoy them as much as possible. I think it could work SO well with library books, though -- wrapping those, or pulling them out of your ingenious, easy-peasy bag so that you get a new (new to you) book every night but still have your favorites available is a brilliant workaround. Leave it to you to come up with that! (I'm not surprised at all.)
Thank you, always, for the shoutout. I hope I can help *your* family find some new reads this season, too ❤️
